Thanks guys for the replies. I'm definitely going to check some of this stuff out this weekend. I am running PT le on a mac G5. Ditched the custom pc with cubase after being kinda brainwashed with pt down here in hollywood dfegad
Actually it just edits a whole lot faster, though i still prefer the sound of cubase a whole lot better....And my buddy's waves diamond bundle i inherited when he moved to mac. now i do the same..
I'm going to be working with whatever will pay the bills for now but my main areas of mixing that I really love are rock, alternative, and indie.
I've gotten used to just using all the digi stuff since it transfers nicelly when moving a project from at the school in one of the labs, to one of the studios, to back at my place with my own setup. But theres something about it that it feels to plain to me. just moving some numbers, no pizazz or flavor.
I've heard awesome thigns about that sonalksis comp, how is their eq since i'd probably just grab the bundle? The sony oxfords sound really appealing but at 600 something for just 3..ouch. though then through in that other bundle of theirs with all 6 for 900 and it almost makes me want to wip out the plastic but i think this G5 is hoggin it
oh as for the card...my g5 has the new all pci express setup so i don't htink its backwards compatible with old pci cards. Also, that card is pretty dated and should be getting an upgrade here soon from what i hear from sales reps and a few on the net.
And one other question while i got you guys here. a simple comp, like the dbx 160 for say, bass or kick? anything that emulates that really well as a plugin? like i said., lookin for all kinds of flavors.
Thanks for your time guys.
